any question, shall be entered upon the Journal when it is
desired by any Commissioner, and the vote of each State
shall be determined by the majority of Commissioners present
from each State."

Mr. GUTHRIE:--I hope the gentleman will waive the first part of the
resolution. I think it is the best way not to disclose our divisions
any farther than is indispensably necessary.

Mr. CHASE:--I copied the rule _verbatim_ from the one adopted by the
Congress of the Confederation. I think it right and fair. But I have
no objection to modifying it, so as to have the yeas and nays called
on the motion of any entire delegation.

Mr. DENT:--I did not withdraw my motion. I think it will accomplish
all we need. It will be taken, of course, that those who do not
dissent vote with the delegation.

Mr. REID:--I think it is entirely too late to talk about saving time.
How long will it take to have the names of dissenting delegates
called? For one, I desire to exercise my rights under the authority of
the State I represent. I will not consent to waive them. When the vote
of my State is cast, I wish to have the record show who is responsible
for it.

The question was taken on the resolution offered by Mr.
CHASE, and it was rejected, and the additional rule proposed
by Mr. DENT was adopted.

Mr. COALTER:--I offer the following, which I shall move as an
amendment to the report. I ask that it be laid on the table, and
printed:

"The term of office of all Presidents and Vice-Presidents of
the United States, hereafter elected, shall be six years;
and any person once elected to either of said offices, shall
ever after be ineligible to the same office."

The above motion to lay on the table and print was agreed to.

Mr. BRONSON:--I also have an amendment, of which I ask to have the
same disposition made. It is as follows:

"Congress shall have no power to legislate in respect to
persons held to service or labor in any case, except to
provide for the rendition of fugitives from such service or
labor, and to suppress the foreign slave trade; and the
existing _status_ or condition of all the Territories of the
United States, in respect to persons held to service or
labor, shall remain unchanged during their territorial
condition; and whenever any Territory, with suitable
boundaries, shall contain the population requisite for a
represe
